I've always felt good about using Almay products until this morning when I took the time to read the ve-e-eery small print on my TimeOff liquid makeup bottle.  I've been using the stuff for years -- don't read the labels since Almay always lists their TimeOff make-up line as gluten-free.  And there, not quite halfway down the 15-lines-long list, was the dreaded "hydrolyzed wheat protein" !  Wonder how long that's been there ?

Moral of the story -- don't trust companies even when they declare that their products are free of gluten and are all hypoallergenic  -- read all labels anyway.  Have to carry a small magnifying glass, I guess.  

(Maybe that accounts for why the fingers on only my right hand  are cracking and refusing to heal?  I put makeup on with my right hand -- and I have DH ---  Interesting thought ---)
